Over the course of his career,
Watty Clark
pitched 1,747 innings
and made 657 plate appearances.
Clark
was worth
26.5 Wins Above Replacement
(26.7 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter)
and 12.1 Wins Above Average
(12.4 as a pitcher and -0.1 as a hitter).
After adjusting for length of schedule, catchers, and relief pitchers, the 26.5 WAR becomes
28.1 adjWAR. Then, WAA is adjusted by ignoring negative seasons
(thus, truly capturing a player’s peak seasons) and making similar adjustments for catchers and relief pitchers.
After these adjustments, the 12.1 WAA becomes 17.2 adjWAA.
Then, the adjWAR and adjWAA are combined, but with extra weighting given to adjWAA.
This gives Clark 59.1 wWAR. wWAR is then converted to Hall Rating.
A Hall Rating of 100 represents the Hall of Stats borderline (similar to OPS+ or wRC+, where 100 represents league average).
Watty Clark has a Hall Rating of
56,
leaving him nowhere close to induction to the Hall of Stats.
